Former Finance Minister Ngandu Magande’s long awaited memoir has now been published.
Mr. Magande considered by many as one of Zambia’s finest Finance Ministers has been releasing snippets of his memoir titled “Depth of my Footprint” on his Facebook page which has captivated his readers.
The Economist turned Politician says the 540 paged book is a chronicle of the events that occurred during my 65 years of my life of 71 years.
Mr Magande said he decided to write a book in order to enable Zambia to have a more permanent form of storage for his conversations he has had with readers.
“Now, I need your help to make this book a success. As I promised, “The Depth of My Footprints” is now on Amazon. If you are interested in supporting the book, you can help by directly buying the book at US DOLLARS THIRTY FIVE ($35.00) from Amazon on this link: https://amzn.to/2Mie48t,” he said.
“Those who may not have the internet facility can pre-order the book now by depositing the purchase price of KWACHA THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY (K380.00) into an account at the ZAMBIA NATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK plc, MANDA HILL BRANCH, code 010078, Account Number 1130431200397 in the name of NG’ANDU PETER MAGANDE.”
“You must fill in two deposit slips and retain one after it is stamped. Please fill in all the details required on the deposit slip.

He was smart by publishing small chunks on his facebook page that left people wanting more. Great marketing skills, I am sure it will be a best seller. Good job taata!!
The best finance Minister is still Ronald Penza, he is the one who stated the economic reforms that made the economy to turn around. Ngandu Magande’s just harvested the fruits from penzanomics gallant works as finance minister.
Use already established book sellers, it reduces on certain risks…. as an economist magende should knew this better but then again book sellers can be exploitative!!
Now this is worth a read …. not that chitechi of a book ati … Against all odds
Both the economy and GRZ finances were so much healthier during Magande’s tenure unlike today’s indebtedness,IMF downgrades and low 3% growth.
If halusa hagain had not been power hungry and supported RB in 2011, MMD would have won the election and Zambia would be in a far better position now. Magande was part of a better team that understood the economy of the country.

The one who wanted to bail out Member and Nchito’s debt ridden airline with public finances and helped them secure a dodgy loan from DBZ. Was not willing to accept that the MMD had chosen RB against him, so formed his own party that went nowhere!
“Mr. Magande considered by many as one of Zambia’s finest Finance Ministers” That is a wrong statement or is grammatically incorect . He the best Finance Minister Zambia has ever had. He is not comparable to anyone other Zambian Finance minister

Don’t bother though he was in MMD he was a sniff dog for UPND once a tOONGA ALWAYS REMAIN A TOONGA even in mide and deeds of poligamy ,kujata ngombe, streamlined voting , support of upnd etc. His Toonga english accent is missed though
You sound like a pathetic tribalist.
Always *****s check on sirnames before they comment.
THE NEW DEAL GOVERNMENT was the best cabinet ever!!
its the NEW deal government of LP Mwanawasa that made the cartel of Fred MMembe become untouchable!!
is the that the best cabinet ever???
The Kwacha was trading at ZMK2.50 to a dollar DURING Magende’s time at Ministry of Finance
These were guys together with the late Levy Mwanawasa. He managed to achieve HIPC and Zambia’s debt was cancelled.
If only the current government can just swallow its pride and call upon this man.

Why are Zambian memoirs so expensive? An average book on Amazon or Audible is $10 USD. The Author will get more sales selling the book at that price. I would love more politicians like KK, Grey Zulu write memoirs.
Results, & statistics Don’t lie.
Magande is the BEST finance minister Zambia has ever had.
Can you imagine where Zambia would now be, had this man been the current President, not the drunken thieving ever touring joker we have in Plot No 1??
Before demented P.F, Cadres jump on their sickly high horses, I AM NOT Bantu botatwe.
